Hi Catoblepa, the fairing is a Dougz Spartan Mini, ordered direct from Doug in the US here: https://www.dougz.com/product-page/2...ZJox3E2DefwoqA

The hand guards are universal ones that I cut to fit around the indicators with a dremel. Brackets go straight onto the mirror mountings with a bit of jiggery pokery. Bought from Ebay here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smoke-Mot...53.m2749.l2649

Look closely at pic 2, I also have fitted a bezel ring to the speedo surround, looks great, also Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Spe...53.m2749.l2649

Got to permanently fix the GoPro to the fairing. Cheers, Alan

Thank you Adrian.

Maybe it is the break in, I should probably put on 1-2k KM on the bike and then see if things settle.

What did you do, hit a curb?? Different tire profile. The Bridgestone's tread area is a bit wider than the OE Dunlops..........but yes, you are correct!!!! I can do better!!!!
